It's good for your ears AND your soul." -Sound Waves Magazine “She possesses not only a huge reservoir of musical talent and a voice with a bell-like clarity, but a keen sense of global social concern and a fierce intellect… It might seem too good to be true, but true it is.” -Acoustic Live in NYC "Lara reminds us that music can be heroic when it springs from a strong heart. Walt Whitman would recognize his own soul in her expansive American vision, and there really is no higher compliment I can pay an artist." -Connecticut Public Radio host Colin McEnroe photo by Rob Klein Offline Images https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612aa839932cbc7a62df3467/e23b5654-8f04-436d-bbd9-b55c818d779b/LR+Lara+Herscovitch+by+Tracey+Eller+Photography+-+1.jpg EPK - Discography.
